Default traction in reverse?

Does anybody know if the HAH's traction control works in reverse? I seem to have more trouble backing out of the snowy driveway than going forward in even worse conditions.

hmmm. never thought about it. Is there a big parking lot you can try skidding in R and look for the light to flash?

Good idea. I'll have to try it after the next snow. Actually, the driveway should do the trick. I just keep forgetting to look for the light because I'm too worried about sliding back down into the garage (or the kitchen).

No it does not work... also, anti-locks don't work in reverse either. I think because anti-locks don't work in reverse that you don't get TC either. Because TC needs the braking system.
